تتبنى استخدام وجهة نظر محايدة ولغة وصفية عند الإشارة إلى جوانب النظم القانونية Adopts the use of neutral point of view and descriptive language when referring to aspects of legal systems

Abstract

In this discussion note, I argue that we need to distinguish carefully between descriptive categories, that is, categories of particular languages, and comparative concepts, which are used for crosslinguistic comparison and are specifically created by typologists for the purposes of comparison. Descriptive formal categories cannot be equated across languages because the criteria for category assignment are different from language to language.
